boiling a car
I hear people talking about boiling certian parts to make them stronger. Can you just take the electronics and boil the entire car? Considering 1/18th cars can fit in a normal pot? lol

RE: boiling a car
boiling water only make the plastic less brittle, like make it more flexible, so you dont want all your car to be flexible.. just certain parts.

RE: boiling a car
Yeah dont boil the whole car I would like to know what car you were thinking about doing this with so that I can get a better idea of what you want. I would mainly focus on boiling the arms, c-hubs, bulkheads, body mount posts, Shock towers, bumper.

RE: boiling a car
I dont see why not if you remove all electronics and rubber items and regrease everything when your done besides unequal heat distribution. If your car is dirty then next time you strip it down and clean it you might as well boil all the parts individually or in small assemblies too.
